About Aimee
Aimee Lighty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, problem-solving therapy. She uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma that interfere with daily life. Her style balances warmth with directness so time spent in sessions feels useful and focused.
She leans on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build trust, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
How Aimee works
Solution-Focused Therapy helps set concrete short-term goals and track progress. These approaches are used to address concerns such as relationships, parenting pressures, anger, addictions, sleep and eating problems, and self-esteem struggles. With 15 years of counseling experience, she brings steady clinical knowledge to each session.
Aimee values collaborative work - she does not tell people what to do, but she partners with them to design practical steps they can try between sessions. That keeps conversations focused on change rather than getting stuck on the past. She also has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and understands the complexities those bring.
Aimee is familiar with challenges like bipolar disorder, ADHD, self-harm, and coping with life changes, and she helps people find manageable ways to move forward. Sessions are offered from Pennsylvania and are conducted in English. Aimee aims to make therapy fit around a person's life by using clear goals, straightforward tools, and respectful collaboration.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Aimee uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. This approach focuses on listening, understanding each person's perspective, and shaping therapy around their needs. It can be helpful when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also a core approach. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Solution-Focused Therapy rounds out her approach by setting clear short-term goals and tracking progress in a few concrete steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, preferences, and goals, then try techniques together and adjust as progress is observed. Aimee works with each person to choose methods that feel practical and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins and short updates. These options let people fit therapy into busy days and stay connected from wherever they are.
